says something about moyes for sure

Wrong sport Michael.

Need to be moved on in the summer as the club builds for the future. Time to move the relics on.

Would cost a fortune to replace. Better to extend.

Hearing Stones is in the picture.

Happy to see Keane roll if so.

Equally if Keane and Tarks go in 1-2 seasons max as backups for o brien and JB in the interim, fine.

Full backs are where we fall to hurt teams and blunt out forward play.

That a functioning no.10 and a decent CF is what willl (or won't , if not fixed) cement is in upper half / Europe places.

John Stones fitness & availability would be my biggest concern there. That and he would be on big money I expect.
On balance in not convinced he would be more useful than Keane getting extended.
Of course Stones is better, but it’s no good being the better player if he’s unavailable when he’s needed.

Will he be taking the Seamus role? Tuchel calls it the Jordan Henderson role

Yes, the only big question mark I suppose. Shame.

The wages thing makes me laugh, how can bit part players command the salary for non appearance?

Surely that's city's loss, not another clubs problem?

[Winces] yeah, I think Southgate called it the kalvin Phillips role. Horrible.

 

[judge]

Stones is getting on a bit and is injury prone......and i don't think he's as good a defender as people make out anyway (gets tin hat)

Why would anyone not want keane
to stay hes been brilliant this season when called upon in the 3rd best defence in the league. Keane and tarky are the new weir and stubbs and we could use them both for another 5-6 years even if they become backup. Moyes will see it that way too. It ticks all the boxes.

Moyes would never swap Keane for Stones with their respective injury records, just wouldnt make much sense and would cost significantly more.

Extra year in the pipeline.

If we get into Europe having Keane to be able to play would be invaluable

Fine we me if he stays another year, not a bad 4th choice if we keep improving.
